Mass Spectrometry

by Gary Mallard and O. David Sparkman

For AMDIS to be as effective as possible, it is essential to have high quality target libraries. These can either come from standards taken with the same instrument that the data is analysed on or from the NIST...

In the first two parts of the discussion of setting up AMDIS the basics of running an analysis with retention index filtering as well as a simple analysis were discussed. In this final part of the set up...

In the last part of this AMDIS discussion, the setting up and running of a simple analysis was discussed. However, to take full advantage of AMDIS it is far better to make use not only of the mass spectral...

The identification of components by GC/MS in complex mixtures has essentially two parts – extracting a spectrum that is due to a single component and then identifying the component, usually through a library...

Shimadzu’s MALDI-8020is the newcomer in their family of MALDI products. This linear MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer combines talents and skills such as outstanding speed, accuracy and performance. It targets researchers developingMALDI-based...

In a recent interview, Separation Science took time to talk with Adam Currie, Laboratory Manager at Siltech PMR in Melbourne, Australia, to understand how plasma-based techniques such as ICP-OES and MP-AES, and the Agilent OneNeb Series 2 Nebulizer,...

The LECO Pegasus^® BT has been designed to perform qualitative or quantitative analysis of knowns and unknowns. The benchtop instrument combines new, compact time-of-flight mass spectrometer hardware with powerful ChromaTOF brand software, giving...

This presentation from LECO will help you understand the differences between the use of GC and GCxGC with high performance TOFMS and the benefits of using GCxGC for determining terpene profiles of cannabis strains.

In this study, Shimadzu's TD-30 thermal desorption system is used to address the issues of carryover when analyzing samples with highly concentrated SVOC content from automotive interior materials in accordance with VDA278. 

Today's laboratories are being asked to do more everyday – more samples run, more data acquired, more chemical information processed, and more results achieved – all in less time, and for less money.A smart investment for any laboratory looking to...

In this study, Shimadzu produces a simple solution for off-flavor analysis using a thermal desorption method that assumes no prior knowledge.

In this study conducted by Shimadzu a purge and trap GC/MS measurement method that allows the quantification of components in leachate from water supply equipment is described. 

In this study an overview of inspection methods, from sample preparation to compound analysis, for certain aromatic amines derived from azo colorants is described.

Do you need help in selecting the right cones for your Agilent ICP-MS and for your laboratory’s applications. Would you like to have a better understanding of what impact the cone has on the analysis results and why you should choose genuine...
